18GHz Ku-Band fiber optic mini transmitter and receiver set.
The transmitter is able to accept RF signals from 10MHz to 18GHz analog or digital RF-modulated signals and convert them to optically modulated light; and the receiver converts the optical signal back to an electrical RF signal.
There are a lot of challenges to sending high-frequency RF over long-distance coaxial copper cable; the K-Band TX/RX allows you to send this signal over fiber from 0 to 40Km, if needed.
Electrical to optical conversion is transparent, protocol- or modulation-independent; they work with analog or digital modulation standards.
Used for C-band, L-band, Ku-band, S-band satellite, cell phone 5G/4G/3G mobile communication, DAS, or radar applications.

GPS - GNSS Over Fiber In-Building Distribution System - up to 32 remote unit
The GPS / GNSS Over Fiber In-Building Distribution System is designed to extend GPS and GNSS satellite signals into indoor and underground areas where normal satellite reception is weak or unavailable. The system uses an outdoor GNSS antenna, a 1RU master unit, fiber optic links, and remote indoor antenna units to provide GNSS coverage inside buildings, parking garages, tunnels, warehouses, transportation centers, and public safety facilities. The master unit receives the GNSS signal and distributes it over fiber to multiple remote units. Each remote unit rebroadcasts the GNSS signal in its local area, allowing GPS-enabled devices to receive positioning information even in GNSS shadow areas. The system supports L1 and L5 bands, up to 10 km fiber transmission, and multiple remote units for large multi-zone installations.
